[GNUnet-developers] social messaging progress

[x]

Dear GNUdevs,

here's a progress report about the social messaging part of GNUnet.

* PSYCstore

Now the PSYCstore is able to perform state assignment operations,
and local applications can request stored state variables from it.

* Social

The social service and its API is ready to use now. It allows applications to
host and enter places, send & receive messages, as well as access the history
and stored state of places. The social API also uses the GNU Name System for the
naming of places.

* Next steps

Next steps will be a client application to demonstrate the use of the social
API, and finishing the initial functionality planned for the multicast service
and API, which will allow basic communication with other peers, then we will
work on an improved multicast design.
